About Soviet Zefir Confectionery
Soviet GOST-standard zefir and pastila marshmallow sweets came in white, pink, and white-pink — the pink version a powdery, sugar-dusted rose. The defining artifact is the pastel-pink waxed confectionery box with retro Cyrillic labelling: a soft sugar-pink surface that frames the dusted sweet inside.
This design system distills that confectionery-box nostalgia into a digital palette — powdery sugar-pink grounds, sugar-bloom near-white panels, berry-rose accents, and matte waxed-paper surfaces, paired with high-contrast serif headings and a playful retro script.
